Nice!! Yeah our kids wanted to when you got ours home. Friday movie and sleep in the van night.

I see the weather is the same up your way.

Once this weather clears up I'll get some pics :) couple questions...

When I turn the drifta control panel battery isolator switch to off the lights/radio/tv etc still work? Isn't there a button to turn all the battery off so the kids don't leave lights etc on and flatten the battery?

So the 2015 can't have the bed end flys permanently on? Does this mean they have to press stud on every time?

How quickly will the outdoor shower drain 1 tank?

Took the new expanda for a weekend away at mates property in walca... Loved it! Had lots of rain though and found a leak in the rear bed which made the edge of the kids blanket wet :( any tips to fix this? Also I lit the fridge on gas and had the temp on max to light it and forgot to turn it back to 3 or 4 on the dial and frooze everything in our fridge... Lucky we raided there chook pen for fresh eggs all weekend. Old cruiser loved the tow from Port Macquarie over the walca mountain! Averaged 16.4l/100 with all those hills :) looking forward to many more trips now...

Nice set up- congratulations.
As for the bed end covers I know that Prestige Jayco make there own bed end covers in both mesh and a vinyl and can stay on lid permantely. These are screwed to the lid from the underside and do not use a sail track. Quality looks really good and from memory their about $450 a pair for the mesh ones, cant remember but I know the all weather ones where quiet a bit more expensive.

Welcome to the forum @Rylz114

If the van is plugged into 240v the lights will still work with the 12v switch in the off position. The battery switch is needs to be on to charge the van battery.

Thanks for the response guys :) loving the van just need to get bed end privacy flys now as I think canvas ends are overkill for me. Thanks @Cutters for the info :) I have always thought with the new style lid that the privacy screens could not stay on perminately. With me this would be an issue cause I'm in a wheelchair (short arse) and my missus is only like 5.2 (short arse) so pressing These on every time would be a pain! So if I buy the screens can it be installed by jayco port Macquarie? Do they just tuck into the lid once you fold the beds up?

Well done guys. Nice rig. We did the same with our fridge. Don't go more than 3. Between 2 and 3 should be fine. I bought a wireless temp gauge as well.
